"We went to buttonwood for dinner on a Thursday night and it got filled up pretty quickly. Started out with a hot and dirty and my friend had a sangria, both of with were amazing. I keep coming back for the pork tallow fires and even tho it is a side, I like getting it as an appetizer. The best fries you will ever have. For the mains I got the Pork Milanese, it was perfectly crispy and juicy. The mustard sauce added a lot of flavor as well. My friends got the chicken which was hit and the risotto which was extremely satiating. For desert their signature B3 ice cream cannot be beat. It had brown sugar, brown butter and brownie bites. Always save space for a scoop of that. If you are in the Newton area, this is a must try. They are open for limited hours so be sure to check that. There is also outdoor seating with a nice view in the summers."

"We showed up at 5:30pm on a Friday without a reservation (party of 3). They opened at 5pm, so we assumed we were okay to just walk in. They were almost completely booked already! The hostess was able to seat us with a warning that she would need our table back in 1 hour for a previously booked reservation. We agreed and sat. Good took a little while to arrive, but we did order half a chicken and burgers, so it was to be expected. Food was delicious! Appetizers were amazin4g! I could definitely return just to sit at the bar and have wine and appetizers. The music was nice. They had the games on the bar tv, which we could see from our table. The waitress was funy. We had a nice experience."

"I’ve been coming to Buttonwood about once a week for about three years now, ever since my daughter started dance classes across the street. It’s become a true favorite — sometimes I come with one fellow dance mom, sometimes with a few, and occasionally we gather a big group to enjoy the outdoor patio when it’s nice out. Over the years, we’ve gotten to know the manager, bartenders, and much of the staff, and every single visit has felt like being welcomed by friends. The service is always impeccable, everyone is genuinely kind, and the food is consistently fantastic. And the cocktails — they’re what keep us coming back! The Lion’s Tail is the group favorite, and it’s absolutely perfect every time. Buttonwood is one of those rare spots that gets everything right: atmosphere, food, drinks, and hospitality. Highly recommend!"

"I can not express how much my wife and family have enjoyed Buttonwood. You start your meal eating a delicious corn bread. I know, I know, how good can corn bread be? Well it was incredible. The Bar has a great selection of beers and mixed drinks. Next we had the burrata, which had a great mix of flavors with pesto and apple fig jam. AMAZING!!!!!! I had the risotto which I usually think does not touch my mother's risotto. This one went above and beyond. The waitstaff was very on the ball and helpful. Atmosphere was terrific, not too loud, as some places are, while still having a fun atmosphere. LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this place!!! I will for sure be coming back"
